SHORELINE MANAGEMENT

At its federally regulated hydro-generating facilities

FirstLight Power has an obligation to manage its lands and waters.

FirstLight’s authority to manage shoreline property comes from its Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) licenses, which are required to operate hydropower stations (also called FERC projects). The project boundaries include lands that FirstLight must own or control for station operations. Within the project boundaries, FirstLight manages shoreline uses to balance many interesting including power generation, environmental protection, flood control, irrigation and public recreation
